Eric Goldman of IGN gave the episode an 8.4/10: "Despite a weak subplot with Cat, Adam, and a new romance for Kara, “Strange Visitor From Another Planet” is an emotional episode that shines a spotlight on J’onn J’onzz and gives us the true scope of his tragedy. Combined with a fun Supergirl/Martian Manhunter fight, a terrifying villain, and some heavy-handed but appreciated political undertones, this episode is a winner for Supergirl.""SUPERGIRL: "STRANGE VISITOR FROM ANOTHER PLANET" REVIEW" from IGN (January 25, 2016) Jeff Jensen of Entertainment Weekly noted: "“We all make mistakes — have regrets from our pasts,” is how Kara introduces us to this week’s episode of Supergirl, which even with all its alien drama, still gave us an hour rooted in personal relationships and family values.""Supergirl: Strange Visitor From Another Planet" from Entertainment Weekly (January 25, 2016) Stacy Glanzman of TV Fanatic gave the episode a 4.0 out of 5 stars.

It's a plane. It's Superman! Yes, it's Superman -- strange visitor from another planet who came to Earth with powers and abilities far beyond those of mortal men. Superman -- who can change the course of mighty rivers, bend steel with his bare hands, and who, disguised as Clark Kent, mild-mannered reporter for a great metropolitan newspaper, fights a never-ending battle for Truth, Justice, and the American Way.

According to the origin story of The Urantia Book, sometime between 1906 and 1911, a woman consulted Sadler about her husband's deep sleeping, prompting Sadler to observe him while he slept. He noticed that the sleeping man made unusual movements; the man then purportedly spoke to Sadler in an unusual voice and claimed to be a "visitor ... from another planet". Observers related that the man later claimed to carry messages from several celestial beings. Sadler suspected that the man's words were drawn from his mind and sought a scientific explanation for the phenomenon.

Yet another version, which was unpublished, was a crime fighter without any superhuman abilities, which Siegel and Shuster compare to another of their creations, Slam Bradley. They felt that a virtuous character originating from Earth to possess superhuman powers would make the character and stories seem less serious, inviting comparisons to humorous strongmen like Popeye. So they decided to make the third version, as a visitor from another planet. Siegel has cited the John Carter of Mars stories by Edgar Rice Burroughs as an influence on the source of Superman's strength and leaping ability being the lesser gravity of a smaller planet.

The characters, Superman/Clark Kent and Lois Lane, were created by Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster. Superman was conceived as being like the ideal Hollywood romantic hero of the time, portrayed in films by actors such as Douglas Fairbanks, Clark Gable, and Rudolph Valentino. Siegel and Shuster were both fans of silent film actor Douglas Fairbanks, his movies The Mark of Zorro (1920), Robin Hood (1922), and The Black Pirate (1926) became a huge influence on their writing and art on the Superman character. The idea of making Superman a visitor from another planet was inspired by Edgar Rice Burroughs' John Carter of Mars stories.

The White Martians made their first appearance in the Supergirl episode "Strange Visitor From Another Planet". One of the White Martians posed as Senator Miranda Crane (portrayed by Tawny Cypress) in order to seek out and kill J'onn J'onnz (who was posing as Hank Henshaw on Earth). J'onn wanted to kill the unnamed White Martian as payback for the White Martians' mass genocide of his race, including his family, but Supergirl stopped J'onn from going through with it because it would make him as murderous as the White Martians. After the unnamed White Martian is captured, it tells Kara that there are millions more ready to attack.

Whether playing a lonely teenager re-enacting a high school play (Frenchy, 1996), a nightclub singer with schizophrenia (The Hungry Brain, 1995), a visitor from another planet (Visit to a Small Planet, 1994), a silent movie star (THEDA, 2007-10), a ventriloquist or psychic medium, her face and voice are always the focus, constantly changing and morphing as she performs. As David Frankel noted in Artforum, ”she seems both a familiar presence and at the same time unknowable, one multifaceted figure- she is all of them-but at the same time non-of them at all… Starr proposes a model of art-making and combines the baroque with the spontaneous….
